  1. Looking at these just reaffirms to me that we should use the number on one side of the helmet. No because the logo looks bad, it actually looks fairly sharp on the helmets; but it does bother me to see the bird facing the back of the helmet. probably just my OCD.
  2. While I understand that they are losing the interlocking logo, so they can get everyone onboard with the new logo (even though I'm not a fan of that approach), I do hope that eventually they bring back the ND logo, even if it just for a throwback uniform once a year. I understand the branding concerns and confusion with Notre Dame, but its still a cool logo, we did have it for a very long time, and it looks great on football helmets.
  3. who cares ... we now have some gray uniforms that look cool. Whether they are throwback or not is irrelevant. If incoming players like them .... good. If some fans want to consider them nostalgic ... good. Doesn't matter. Just win on the field!
  4. Not sure, there may have been a few games on FCS this past season (can't remember), but definitely not as many as their used to be. I'm not sure there was a game on tv in the cities the whole first half of the season. Could have had something to do with contract dates and when they could start broadcasting outside of CBS. Hopeful that they can make progress for football too. Last season the Drake game was on FCS and it was much more enjoyable since you didn't have to worry about buffering issues.
  5. I think you are correct, that they are holding off the announcement that gray helmets will be used. Not sure I like the idea of all grey, unles there are enough green accents used. but maybe gray pants and helmets and green jerseys? I think some sort of combo would be cool. Maybe it wouldn't looks as good as I'm thinking. Regardless, the new gray apparel will be a cool addition.
  6. Would be great if that happened.
  7. That's enough to make anyone cry.
  8. Enough to accept an honorary doctorate a few years ago, and give a lecture on changing the Fighting Sioux name.
  9. Then Denver will implement a new ticket policy that you need to purchase tickets for the Miami and W Mich games for the next 6 seasons if you want the tickets for the game you actually care about.
  10. I have brought up this issue with hockey in other threads, but I figured it was worth discussing on the football side. I know with hockey there are some restrictions on broadcasting games ... not sure if that is a midco thing or a CBS Sports thing, but hopefully UND can figure it out. NCHC TV is ok, but I miss the days of seeing all the home games on Fox College Sports. It was nice to not have to worry about buffering issues, or having to connect my pc to my tv. As for football, I believe there are restrictions with the Big Sky broadcasting outside of Roots sports, which is especially ridiculous as many people in the midwest don't get Root Sports, and UND is rarely on there anywhere. Hopefully this is something Faison or the BSC is trying to negotiate. I would love to see UND get some more football games on Fox College Sports to get some national exposure. I know Bemidji gets a lot of their hockey games broadcast on TPT MN, which I believe is a public access channel. I'd be interested to know if UND could ever use that as an option to get a little more exposure in MN ... wouldn't hurt for recruiting or alumni engagement. Big Sky TV works well, but is never ideal for the reasons previously mentioned. Hopefully this is something that UND is working on because accessibility to games and exposure would certainly be a great thing for the program. Thoughts? Rumors? Anything?
  11. Just saw this post on the BG forum (http://ay-ziggy-zoomba.com/) Cool helmets that will be worn for their home opener against UND, and a really cool move with the 111 names on the helmets. Classy stuff. Re: New helmets by jpfalcon09 ยป Tue Jul 26, 2016 9:13 am Confirmed via Twitter that the helmet is military themed and will be worn for the home opener. Official release: http://www.bgsufalcons.com/news/2016/7/ ... n-day.aspx TL;DR version: BG portion of logo in stars and stripes, the falcon head appears to be in a camo-style color scheme. The stripe down the middle of the helmet has the names of the 111 BGSU students who have died defending the country, which is a very classy and purposeful touch.
  12. Love this! Very fun to see who the future of the program will be. I really liked what I saw from Bungum, and hopefully Boltmann can come in Redshirt for a year, and be capable to takeover as a RS Freshman (depending on how our other QBs develop). Remember, if not for injuries Keaton would have only been a RS Freshman last year, and showed that he was more than capable of leading a team. What do we know about Connor Kruse? I like his size for a kid who is going into his senior year. I expect him to be on campus next summer at over 300, and to put another 10-20 lbs on while redshirting. Thoughts on this guy?
  13. Agreed, I liked the all green. I also like the grey helmets. I'm not a huge fan of black uniforms, but black helmets would not be bad if used with the right combo of pants and jerseys. White would also be a cool option.
  14. ok, can we now move on from John's post? Don't need that kind of garbage out here. Really excited about Bungum after seeing his Hudl video. Kid looks like a tremendous athlete. Looks like he was a pretty impressive offensive machine in HS. Is defense a more natural position for him, or would us putting him on D be more based on our need. Just curious why they are looking to use him on D vs O.
  15. If the man want to use Sioux, he may!
  16. Have we offered him? If so, who else has?

    He was actually responding to my compliment of NDSU's non-conference scheduling. Just putting it in perspective that while NDSU schedule many tough games, there are certainly some softies sprinkled in there ...similar to many programs. Originally the conversation stemmed from scheduling your non-conf games to match your style of play, which is just not always feasible.
  18. Coaches still lookin to bring in another corner?

    Once we are undefeated heading into the bye week, the only thing we'll be watching is the team's bumps and bruises healing up before our home playoff game! haha

    Like the difference between us losing a game or going undefeated? Me too!

    That is a pretty solids bet. I really don't care where we are ranked preseason. I'd like to say we are better off under the radar, but I don't think we will actually be overlooked. I'm surprised EWU is getting so much love, given their performance last season.Hard to not show some love to NAU or PSU after last season, and MT certainly deserves to be in one of those top spots. UND is probably in about the right spot for preseason. Remember they were much improved last year, but still missed the playoffs and showed where they could be exposed. I do see us finishing in the top 2, especially given our schedule.

    Fair statement, and our team is certainly capable of this. On paper we should be a little better with our passing game, so hopefully we can mix it up. Most interesting thing to watch for in this game will be one of the FCS's top defensive lines against one of the FBS's most experienced.

    You just had to nitpick, didn't you. I know they have scheduled some soft teams too (I seriously didn't know what Incarnate Word was when I first saw it on their schedule; though it was a typing error), but my point was more directed that UND should not schedule teams based on their style, or the team being too tough. If we want to compete with the best, we need to play the best. It was really a comment more directed toward what UND is trying to do vs. a pat on the back for Moo U.
